UNIVERSAL RAMPS UP PRINT CAPACITY

Universal Approach has invested in a third Konica Minolta high-volume cutsheet digital colour press, an AccurioPress C14000, for its fleet, as print volumes grow for the print, mail and 3PL business.

The new printer comes as added capacity for the company, which trebled the size of its production facility last year with a move into new 1625sqm premises in Dandenong South.

Sales manager at Universal Approach, Richard King, said, “We are seeing more work come from existing customers, and are winning new customers.  As we experience continued growth, and continue to print more work, we wanted to ensure that our turnaround times remain razor sharp, so we invested in the third press.”

The AccurioPress C14000 joins the company’s two current Konica Minolta printers, the last one, an AccurioPress C4080, bought at PacPrint two years ago.

Universal’s print operation includes both large format printing and digital printing. King said, "We install the highest quality production equipment. The Konica Minolta presses have proven excellent for us, so we had no hesitation in getting another AccurioPress when we decided to install an additional press.

“The quality is consistent, and the service from Konica Minolta is first rate, we need a quick response as we operate in a demanding market, and that is what we see from Konica.”

Much of the work at Universal Approach is for bulk mailing of printed personalised DM’s, especially in the Charity sector. King said, “ With the increase of warehousing space, and the growth Universal Approach has seen within the 3PL space, we have the capacity to provide these services, including storage, for our existing and new clients.”

Universal Approach is also the official supplier of Australian Made licensee Products in Melbourne.

Founded and owned by Amit Gupta, Universal Approach will be celebrating its twentieth anniversary in July. On this significant anniversary, Gupta said  “It has been a very exciting journey so far, and as a growing business, the team and I are looking forward to being able to offer our clients a one-stop shop for all things print and mail, storage and 3PL distribution.”
